The Legacy Of Great African Leaders Is A Gift To Future Generations.

About

One of the current tragedies in Africa is that the skills, lessons and stories of our leaders- in business, in various professions, in communities etc - are not documented or recorded or archived at any level and more sadly so, not at an Institutional level. The role that great African leaders can have for future generations is therefore diffused and becomes easily redundant with no structures or systems or processes to create an African leadership legacy.

The leadership role of great leaders of Africa are a way of passing on leadership knowledge, skills and visions to future generations. This is the leadership legacy website that is a precursor to other resources including books, stories, documents, speeches of our great leaders of Africa. I start with snippets of Wila Mung'omba's leadership legacy and invite you to add to this African leadership legacy with knowledge from other great leaders of Africa, past and present.

So what is a leadership legacy?

It is a legacy based on leadership, excellence and inspiration for others.

In Africa, resources to create great leaders in all spheres of life is relevent for a great future Africa. A leadership legacy is based on integrity, honesty, excellence and visions of leaders that enable our Continent to not only grow, but thrive and prosper for all.
